Good morning class! Today we will be learning about the present perfect tense. Are you excited to learn something new? The present perfect tense refers to actions or events that happened in the past but have a connection to the present. For example, "I have eaten breakfast today." It's a past action but it connects the past to the present because the day isn't over yet.
Now, let's discuss the difference between simple past and present perfect tenses. Simple past tense refers to actions that happened at a specific time in the past, for example, "I ate breakfast this morning." In contrast, the present perfect tense is used for actions or events that started in the past but continue up to the present. Can anyone give me an example of the present perfect tense?
Great job! Now we're going to learn how to form sentences using present perfect. First, let's take a look at some examples: "I have played basketball." "She has studied English." "They have watched a movie." Now, I want you to work together with your classmates to make sentences using the present perfect tense. Take turns and practice speaking with each other.
Let's do a group activity now, where you will be making sentences using the present perfect tense. I will divide you into groups, and each group will get a task to make sentences using present perfect. Once you finish, each group will share their work.
Now it's time for an activity using printable cards. Everyone will receive a card with a present perfect sentence on it. Your task is to identify the tense and write it down on a piece of paper. You will have five minutes to complete this activity.
Now I'm going to collect the completed cards. Great job, everyone! I will randomly check some of your work, so please make sure you put effort into it. For homework, you will be completing a worksheet with present perfect sentences. Make sure you understand the tense before you start doing the homework. Thank you for your participation. See you next class!
